After Sunday school, we picked Blair up from Brad’s parents’ house and went out to the golf course to get a couple of to go plates. While we were waiting, we sat at one of the tables where Blair played with the sweetener packets. She collected all of the blue ones. Then she realized that it might be a fun game to drop them. So she did. And she exclaimed, “OH NOOO!” every time.

Silly.

Then Brad took her outside while I paid. When I got out there, she had picked up all of the rectangular tee markers from the first tee and brought them to the center of the tee box, sorted into colors – blue, white, and yellow side by side. She had picked all six of them one by one and carried each as if it were a really important gift.

Later, we went on a golf cart ride, and we found some really small citrons (fake watermelons) in the watermelon fields. She tried to bite every one Brad handed her.

And she carried my phone around – supported by her shoulder -- as if she were talking on it.

Cotton boll in her teeth. (?)

I have a super busy week, but when I get a chance, I’m going to post a giveaway! Check back soon!

Brad is my husband of 6 years and the reason I live across the branch. From a very young age he knew he'd be a farmer. God gave him the love and the talent -- and he's the best looking and the best dressed farmer I know! He's funny, creative, and he's the most wonderful husband and father. He's the one that can make Blair light up like no other.

Blair is four! We are so blessed to have her. She was born very sick, but God gave her strength and brought her through it. She has hearing loss called Auditory Neuropathy and wears hearing aids. She also has chronic lung disease, but you wouldn't know by seeing her! She is the busiest, funniest little thing who keeps us laughing and on our toes. I thank God for her every day.

Leighton is the happy roly poly who joined our family this summer. He has been a joy and is as sweet as his big sister! He's such a blessing, and we're so thankful for him!
